Telerik Radgrid enablelinqexpressions when set to true still the filter expression returned is in SQL format

[Anup]

I have a telerik radgrid used on my page.I have set the enablelinqexpressions property to true. What i read in blog was when we set this property we get the filter expression in the linq format like this - "(iif(Message == null, \"\", Message).ToString().ToUpper().Contains(\"f2e\".ToUpper()))" but i am still getting the filter expression in the SQL format.

 Am i missing any thing ?

 

Please find below few of my radgrid code snippet:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="gridResults" runat="server" AllowFilteringByColumn="True"
        AllowPaging="True" AllowCustomPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
        CellSpacing="0" EnableAJAX="True" GridLines="None" PageSize="20" Skin="Windows7"
        OnNeedDataSource="gridResults_NeedDataSource" OnItemCommand="gridResults_ItemCommand" Visible="False">
        <GroupingSettings CaseSensitive="False" />
        <ClientSettings AllowColumnsReorder="True" ReorderColumnsOnClient="True" />
        <ExportSettings OpenInNewWindow="true" ExportOnlyData="true" HideStructureColumns="true" />
        <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top" AllowMultiColumnSorting="False">
            <CommandItemSettings ShowAddNewRecordButton="false" ShowExportToCsvButton="true" ShowExportToExcelButton="true" ShowRefreshButton="false" />
            <SortExpressions>
                <telerik:GridSortExpression FieldName="Timestamp" SortOrder="Descending" />
            </SortExpressions>

Just missed to mentioned that the property enablelinqexpressions  is set to true which i missed in the above code snippet

Hello Anup,

The EnableLinqExpressions property is enabled by default. I've created a sample RadGrid web site to demonstrate that the filter expression is built as expected. Please run the attached application and let me know about the result.

Hi Eyup,

Thanks for the reply.

I went through your sample code. But i problem here is I have a List collection which i am bind to the grid in the needdatasource event.

and the filterexpression i am getting is in SQL format. so when i try to filter my collection with grid filter expression it gives me an error.

Hi Eyup,

I am expecting the filter expression is linq format. Why i am getting the same in SQL format.
